hey guys
a short update, i have got a new motherboard and graphics card! however it wasnt any of those that caused a problem nor was it a software problem! It turns out the problem is with my hard drive so i am going to take this oppurtunity to get a bigger hard drive
will keep you informed!
(i am sure that someone had already told me that a complete re-format probabl;y wouldn't do the job!! lol)
